22 km from Prachuap, Dan Sing Khon border market may be an additional option (wood furniture, orchids...)

Yeah lovely little spot and well worth another visit as we were there July this year with our friends 'Hilux' and 'Niko13' with their 2012 Ninja and 2013 Multistrada respectively.
Sorry for the poor photo selection.

There are bikers and bikers

Generally HD owners are similar to Hoover vacuum cleaners only the position of the dirt bag is different

Anyway, sorry real bikers,

I stopped at the Kawasaki shop in Kuiburi this morning and the biggest bike I saw was the new Ninja 300 cc, quite good looking.
I asked if they had bigger bikes and they told me "only on order". Kuiburi is a small city, I have not seen many big bikes in Prachuap city and Huahin is 60 km away, so I wonder if this shop will be the best place for bigger bikes service.

That's why I think Ducati will be a bigger hit when the new store opens soon..

Although I still have my eye on the new 2014 1L Ninja.

I have been there with my ninja 650 for service, and I also bought my zx-14r there. My impression is that they are quite competent and do a good job.
The owner/manager Jieab is also a very experienced rider and not just a sales rep. Kawasaki Kuiburi is a part of Motoaholic with 2 more shops in BKK - probably making them the largest Kawasaki dealer in Thailand.

That is indeed an awsome bike. KTRC, Powerbands and that horisontal back-link suspension. It only ads another 20 kg to the weight of a 650 - but doubles the HP to about 145 HP.

Yeah that's Hilux's ZX-14R, we were there the day it was delivered coincidentally. Considered driving it back to Chaam for him but couldn't find the aft-thruster boost controller and wing-flap controls....

i have been to bigwing in bkk today to look at the bike ive ordered a cbr650f but im now unsure to go for the cb650 but its no screen so could be a little rough at speed anyone have a idea ,i will be using it for the odd weekend ride not everyday so im up for any ideas ,

plus the 500 one like buksidas was there and it looked very nice

so im now torn which bike to get a 500cc can have it this week they have it in stock or 650cc deposit paid but wait until late feb early march

so many decisions i wish i had not gone now
